BLEED BAR TEXT INTRODUCTION

Introduction Welcome to the GST PST Distribution module, a powerful companion product for Microsoft Dynamics GP that allows you to allocate the refundable portion of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and/or the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) according to provincial and federal rules and regulations. This program allocates the refundable portion of taxes to a specific general ledger account and adjusts purchase costs to include the non-refundable tax amounts. Using GST PST Distribution will simplify the process of filing GST or PST returns. The new and revised GST PST Distribution module (Build 11) allows you to set up your GST PST in different ways depending on how your company is set up. For example, you can choose to set up your GST PST refundable percentage amounts based on general ledger accounts, general ledger segments (useful if you keep track of multiple divisions or departments), vendors, and/or vendor classes. Several of the revised module s windows open alongside the applicable Microsoft Dynamics GP windows making it easy to see how the allocated distribution corresponds to the original document. There are new windows for setting up GST PST defaults for general ledger accounts and/or general ledger segments. The revised module now incorporates Purchase Order Processing documents you can allocate GST PST refundable percentages when you enter/ match invoices or when you receive shipments with invoices. GST PST Distribution: Provides the capability to attach default tax tables to any and all vendors, vendor classes, segments, or general ledger accounts Allows you to specify the percentage of tax to be entered into the appropriate tax account Allocates the refundable portion of taxes to a specific general ledger account while adding the non-refundable taxes to the purchase costs 6 GST PST DISTRIBUTION

INSTALLATION AND SETUP Setting Up GST PST Distribution This section explains how to set up your GST PST Distribution module. Setting up the module involves setting up various defaults basic tax distribution defaults and specific tax allocation defaults based on vendor class, vendor, general ledger segment, and/or general ledger accounts. Before you begin to set up the GST PST module, you must analyze your organization s setup to determine which defaults will be useful to your organization. You may choose to use a combination of all of the defaults or a select few. Some of the defaults may not be applicable to your organization. The tax distribution defaults, which you will set up initially, are the foundational defaults which determine the refundable percentages for each applicable tax ID. These basic tax ID defaults can also be applied to the other defaults. You may also specify refundable GST and PST tax allocation default amounts based on the following: Vendor Class tax allocations based on vendor class will roll down to all vendors in the class Vendor tax allocations based on vendors override tax allocations based on vendor class GL Segment tax allocations based on general ledger segment override vendor and vendor class GST PST defaults GL Account tax allocations based on general ledger accounts override all other GST PST defaults The hierarchy of defaults works like this: GL Account defaults override > GL Segment defaults override > Vendor defaults override > GL Segment Vendor Vendor Vendor class Vendor class Vendor class Vendor class defaults override You can override all of the defaults for individual transactions if necessary. GST PST DISTRIBUTION 17

INSTALLATION AND SETUP Would you like to see an example? Here s an example using postage. If postage has GST only, then on the postage account, you would leave the PST Tax Detail blank. If you consistently buy postage from one vendor or one vendor class, you might choose to set up a vendor or vendor class GST PST tax default. However, you may buy other goods from the same vendor or vendor class and the same tax rules may not apply to those goods. In this case, the other defaults may prove to be more useful. If, in your company, the postage expense is distributed to multiple departments, you might choose to set up a GL Segment GST PST default for postage. Any distribution using this segment will automatically display the defaults set up for this segment. In this case, it does not matter which department the expense is allocated to, so the GL Segment default would be appropriate. If your organization has only one postage account, a GL Account GST PST default might serve you best any distribution using the postage account will automatically have the defaults set up for this account. The GL Account GST PST defaults will override all other defaults. Once the tax distribution defaults are set up, the GST PST Distribution module is able to calculate and redistribute the refundable and non-refundable portions of GST and PST. The nonrefundable portions will be distributed to an expense account and the refundable portions will be distributed to the specific tax ID accounts set up for these taxes. Using the new GST PST window the small window beside distributions for payables transactions, purchasing invoices, and receivings transaction entries it is easy to see how the GST PST distribution corresponds to the original distribution. Once you are satisfied with the redistributed amounts, you can replace the original distribution with the revised GST PST distribution at the touch of a button. The GST PST Distribution module uses the tax details not the tax schedules in Microsoft Dynamics GP. 18 GST PST DISTRIBUTION

INSTALLATION AND SETUP The following procedures explain how to set up these defaults: Setting up tax distribution defaults on page 19 Setting up vendor class GST PST defaults on page 21 Setting up vendor GST PST defaults on page 22 Setting up GL Segment GST PST defaults on page 24 Setting up GL Account GST PST defaults on page 25 Identical voucher and payment numbers on page 26 Setting up tax distribution defaults You will specify the tax distribution defaults (refundable tax percentages) for applicable Tax Detail IDs in the Refund % window the small window on the right side of the Tax Detail Maintenance window. The tax distribution defaults that you set up here are foundational defaults which determine the refundable percentages for each applicable tax ID. These basic tax ID defaults can be applied to the other defaults. GST PST DISTRIBUTION 19

INSTALLATION AND SETUP To set up tax distribution defaults: 1. Open the Tax Detail Maintenance window. (Microsoft Dynamics GP menu >> Tools >> Setup >> Company >> Tax Details) For more information about Tax Details, please refer to the Microsoft Dynamics GP System Setup manual. 2.

INSTALLATION AND SETUP 4. In the Refund % field, enter the refundable percentage of this tax. Note: This is a percentage of the tax not a percentage of the whole transaction. For example, if you will be refunded half of a 7% tax, enter 50% not 3.5%. If you are not refunded for a particular tax detail, leave the field blank. 5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until rates for all relevant tax detail accounts have been set up. Changes to the Refund % window are saved as you enter the changes. Setting up vendor class GST PST defaults Using the applicable vendor class IDs already set up in Payables Management, you can set up defaults for the refundable portion of GST and PST for vendor classes.
